This impressive Grade II Listed six bedroomed country residence is believed to date in part from the early 17th Century. Arranged over four floors to include an attic and a cellar, this gentry home with three reception rooms and a master bedroom suite sits in grounds of about 3.8 acres to include a pony paddock, natural ponds, a garage complex and large stone barn and enjoys splendid far reaching countryside views across Llanover and the Vale of Usk towards the majestic Blorenge in the distance. Despite its rural setting, this family home is within three miles of the popular market town of Abergavenny, on the fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park with a great wealth of sporting and country pursuits all close-by.Constructed from local red sandstone rubble, there are indications of re-building and alterations during its long history. According to the Cadw Listing record, at the start of the 17th Century, the residence was a rather more humble two room plan, gable entry house which was re-built at some stage in the same century into a heightened symmetrical house with central entry. The property was further substantially adapted in the 20th Century with the addition of a two storey wing and a single storey rear extension and is now partly rendered under a natural slate to the roof of the house with stone slate above the bays and the gabled porch.Although requiring improvement and updating, this substantial home has retained many historical features including ceiling beams with chamfered-stops, stone flagged and exposed wooden flooring, latched doors and strap hinges with tulip cusps, sash windows, original doors, a fine vaulted cellar, and an impressive stone fireplace in the main reception room.

HISTORICAL REFERENCES

A local historian who has researched the history of the house says that “Rhys Williams inherited the manor from Richard ap William, his father, by 1586. He died in 1618-19 and it is virtually certain that he was responsible for rebuilding the house as it is today”. He further notes that the house is mentioned in Bradney's History of Monmouthshire (Vol. 1, part 2b, p. 338). This is an extract from a poem by a poet called Dafydd Benwyn, the last of the professional Welsh bards to ply his trade to the great gentry houses of Monmouthshire, in praise of Richard ap William of Parc Lettys:

Af wythoes i fyw weithian
Ar frys i Barc Lettys lan,
At Risiart rwydd-wart rydd-win,
William wych, i alw am win.

“I will go now to live for eight ages
In haste to fair Parc Lettys,
To Richard the open-handed custodian, generous with his wine,
The son of splendid William, to call for wine.”

He advises that the poem is found in the manuscript Llansteffan 164, dated c. 1590 and therefore...
